Journal Items
Remember -
We evaluate a current event or fact piece about one of our topics here every day. You will keep a journal with your evaluations in it.
You will submit your journal entries from each week Friday. Please, submit only the items for that week each Friday.
You will keep your journal entries on 8 1/2" x 11" three hole punch paper.
When your journal entries are returned, keep them in your class binder.
You are required to evaluate every piece of art we use. This includes days you may be absent.
The links to the journal entries we use for each day are found in the right hand column of this table.
